Question #35 - A total of 12 acres has been identified which are out of play and could be converted to native grass areas. Much of this is now mowed and then becomes barren in the dry season. By converting to native grasses they could be allowed to grow to full height providing texture and color contrast to the adjoining maintained turf. Converting these areas removes them from active maintenance, thus reducing maintenance costs.
